          Possibly but the bill looks too short and straight but you might be right.

              I'm having to be careful in the garden as I've found a Wren has nested in an old disused Nut Feeder hanging underneath my "Masquerade" climbing rose:hapydancsmil:. I've now got to take a different route by the Gable end of the House to avoid spooking it.:dunno:
